Reviews for this host's other properties

We had a great stay at Tiziana's house. Her house is located very close to the subway station, with a direct connection to central NYC. The room itself was spacious and we were very happy with the airconditioning. We had our own bathroom, which is great. The only thing that could have made it better would be if the bathroom was connected to the bedroom, that way you don't have to get dressed when you need the toilet at night. But that's a very minor thing. Tiziana herself was very friendly and helpful. She gave us some great recommendations for restaurants in the area. I can highly recommend this room, especially if you're fond of alternative, quirky, artsy places.

Been very busy since I got home so sorry for the slow review Tippy. The house is just as described and when I arrived Tippy was there to show me to my room. It's up one flight of stairs but once inside there's plenty of room, good storage and hanging space and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is right next door and the fully equipped kitchen up one more floor. I arrived on the night of the Brooklyn festival in Prospect Park and Tippy told me which lines to catch to get there which was easy and I enjoyed good food and a great night of reggae. Spent the next few days exploring various parts of Brooklyn and had a really enjoyable time. The neighborhood around Decatur St felt very safe but don't expect a lot of hip bars and cafes as it's residential. I had no trouble getting breakfast supplies though and I was out most of the rest of the time and it's only 5 min to the Subway from which you can get anywhere. Thanks again Tippy for your hospitality - and getting the door lock fixed!

The Blue Room for Two, our cosy headquarter in Brooklyn, NYC, was the perfect platform for our trip. Furnished like a romantic palace, we felt like the princes of New York there. Everything was easy, confortable and warm. The neighborhood was very nice, and our young and charming hostess gave us a great recommendation: Peaches, an amazing restaurant just a couple of blocks away; do not miss the ribs. The subway is just two minutes walking, direct line to Manhattan, also easy to go to JFK airport. And do not forget that Brooklyn is a very nice area to visit too! If we come back to NYC, for sure we would not mind to stay in our Blue Room again. All the best for you guys and the pretty cats!

Very special room - spacious, quiet, comfortable bed, good for all facilities - close by metro, stores, 1 lovely restaurant... the house is unique, because it has the originally built in wood carved decoration. It feels a bit like staying in a living museum. The hosts are very nice and unusual too. Therefore one can ignore the things which would need to be taken care off - but a big building like that - 4 stories - and a lot of antiquities and over 100 year old interior decoration - would need just 1 person to take care for it - on a daily base. But it is so great to see, that Tippy and her familly protect the uniqueness of their historic property.
No option for people who like a big TV-screen and a sterile room for their staying.

The apartment is very well located to explore the city. In the surroundings, everything is available, what you need (grocery, metro station, small restaurants, etc.). With respect to the Equipment everything you need is available in the apartment, the interior design style is very interesting and special, but does the apartment in some areas a bit worn / unkempt. The owners are very nice and helpful.

We had such a great time at Tippy's Brooklyn House during our stay in NYC! She is so kind and helpful, so we felt directly like having been part of the neighborhood for years! The blue room and all facilities are great, subway station just a 2 minute walk and if you wanna know about oysters, flee market, Brooklyns and Manhattans places to go - ask Tippy! Hope to come back next year!
